Prabowo urges self-improvement from bureaucrats in fulfilling duties

Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto has called on all state officials across the government, bureaucracy, ministries, and institutions to improve themselves in fulfilling their duties as public servants.

"To all state officials serving in the government, bureaucracy, every ministry, and every institution, let's improve ourselves," Prabowo said during the inauguration of five dams, at Meninting Dam in West Lombok, on Friday, as broadcast live on the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube channel.

Prabowo said he did not want to dwell on the past but urged all government officials to improve themselves and not go against the will of the people.

According to him, the public does not want corruption to be tolerated or fraudulent practices to continue.

"I do not want to look back, but I ask all of you to improve yourselves, be self-aware, and do not go against the will of the people. The people do not want corruption to be tolerated, and they do not want fraud to continue," he stressed.

On the occasion, Prabowo also urged all elements of the state apparatus, including bureaucrats, military officers, police personnel, and prosecutors, to conduct self-reflection in carrying out their duties and responsibilities to the public.

The President reminded state officials that they are public servants and that all the facilities and positions they hold are entrusted to them by the people.

"You belong to the people. Your rank comes from the people, your shoes come from the people, your hat comes from the people. Never forget that. The same goes for the prosecution service," he added.

The President stressed that law enforcement against corruption must be carried out in accordance with prevailing legal procedures without regard to a person's position, influence, or economic background.
